Hi Kevin,

The problem with the Ferrari is that you always have to take any person you want to impress to the parking lot or nobody can see that you indeed have a Ferrari. The same applies to Mikimoto pearls. In order to impress somebody with them you have to take them off and show the box and papers. On a price impact comparison imagine what the same amount of money you would spend on a 10mm AAA Mikimoto strand would buy you in freshadamas. It also applies on a smaller scale. AAA freshwater pearls of the same size are not going to impress anybody any less than AAA akoyas. For anything beyond that on a like-for-like standard freshwater pearls always win.
